Ripper or Random? The Unsolved Mystery of Sally Shepherd

Sinister South

In this chilling episode, we dive into the brutal 1979 murder of Sally Shepherd, a woman whose tragic death in Peckham has left more questions than answers. Was it a random attack, or could it be the work of one of Britain’s most infamous killers? Join us as we explore the grim details of the case, including bizarre theories that point towards the Yorkshire Ripper himself.

Spoiler alert: there are more hair samples and theories than answers.

Plus, Rachel contemplates whether she’d survive a week at a rock concert with her kids, and Hannah shares her disdain for modern tech.
